Congress adjourned last Wednesday, the following
bills having previously passed both Houses,
viz : the revenue or tariff bill; a bill to authorize i
the omission of treasury notes in lieu of so much
of the loan authorized by law as has not been
taken; a bill relating to taking evidence in
contested elections; and also a bill to repeal the
section of the Distribution act which suspends
distribution of the proceeds of the public lands
when duties of more than 20 Dor cent, are levied.
The last of these bills was of course not signed
by the President.
A document purporting to be the treaty just
concluded between this Government and the Minister
of Great Britain has been published in many
of the newspapers. If it is the treaty or any part
of it, how a copy was obtained for publication !
does not appear. If there was any good reason '
for withholding the treaty from the public till its !
ratification by the Senate (and all admit that
there was) then was there the same reason for !
withholding it ratification or rejection by the Brit-1
ish Government. The Government of the United j
States was therefore bound, in honor and good !
faith not to publish it at thts time. And how has '
it been published ? Who is responsible ? This '
is not known to the public. Either a copy was
stolen and published by some editor, or a Senator,
in gross violation of the duties of liis station furnished
a copy for publication.
We copy the following remarks on this subject
from the National Intelligencer :
THE TREATY.
Several of the Northern papers have published 1
what is stated to be the articles of the late Treaty
negotiated in this city between the United States

lishcd by authority, nor have wc learned that the
injunction of secrecy has as yet been removed by
the Senate. We have thought proper to withhold
any thing from publication as being the Treaty, (
till, in one or the other of the above ways, it may j
authentically appear what the Treaty is. And we
feel the more bound to do this, because there is no ;
doubt that Executive communications were sent ;
to the Senate with the Treaty, which may be nc- j
cessary lor its right understanding, and because, j
also, if general rumor is to be credited, engftgfl.!
mcnts, not embraced in the Treaty, yet accompanied
it, and made essential parts of the general
result of the negotiation.
From the National Intelligencer of Sept. 1.
THE END OF THE SESSION.
This is the last day of a Session of Congress ,
which will be memorable in history for the length
and arduousness of its labors, the obstacles which
it has encountered in the path of its duty, and the
variety and importance of the legislation which it
has accomplished, in despite of all the difficulties
thrown in its way.
The most important item of news we have to
give cur readers is, that the President of the
United States has actually approved and signed
the third act which the two Houses of Congress
have passed and Sent to him for regulating the duties
on imports. 80 the new Tariff Bill is now the
law of the land.
The most remarkable incident in yesterday's (
proceedings is the unfortunate and ill-advised Protest
by the President against the action of the
House of Representatives upon the report of its
committee on the bat Veto, which the President
a 1 -? a ?.1, Vnr nr/v
Jcuicruuj iruiisiuuu:u iu mai WMJ A ut k|fV J,?v- |
ccedings and votes of the House concerning that
Protest we must refer the rcador to the Congressional
head, where tljcy wiU he found duly recorded.
credit of thk united states abroad.
In copying the following article we
do not mean to countenance the intimation
which it contains that the General
Government ought to assume the State
debts.
From the Baltimore American.
The obligations of the General Government
to sustain the credit of the States,
as essential to the preservation of its own,
arc strongly demonstrated by every day's
experience. The arrival of Mr. Robin,
son in England, charged by the Government
with the duty of negotiating a loan i
if he can, has called forth from the London i
I ress a series of comments, animadversions,
and sarcasms which are any thing'
hut complimentary to our country. With
the facts before their eyes of repudiation
perpetrated in some of the States, and of
failures to pay instalments of interest due
on their debts in others, the English journ. I
j alists throw taunts and reproaches in the
face of the Federal Government, and call
j it unprecedented impudence that an agent
should be officially sent among the
! ill-treated creditors themselves to borrow
money They know that the same peo. j
' pie support the General Government and
the State Governments?minor distinc-1
! tions they care nothing for. If contracts
are not met by the people of the States,
how ran it be exuected that they will be
"
' met by the people ot lite union composed
of those State* !
Another cause of the bad credit of the
{ Government is no doubt to be found in the
j fact that no provision has been made to
| secure the repayment of a loan, or the
; payment even of the annual interest.
! The Government has not the means of
j defraying its own expenses. Jt is living
j beyond its income; there is some grave
doubt whether it has any income. At
all events, every day sinks the Treasury
more and more deeply in debt. The
i efforts of Congress to provide revenue
have been rendered abortive by the President's
veto ; and there is no telling when
the inconsistent and wavering mind of
:he Executive will permit any thing like
an efheicnt system to be established.
As a specimen of tho style of the English
journals we give the following remarks
l of a London print on the occasion ot Mr.
I Robinson's mission to that country :
- .
? For immitigable, irrcuceimiu.*,
faced impudence, it is considered to outHerod
ail Jonathan's previous acts, co ipled
as it is with an account, hy the selfsame
ship that conveyed the agent to our
shores, of the defalcation of six or seven
of the federal States in the payment of the
dividends on the money they have borrowed,
due on the 1st instant. To make
a proposition to borrow in England, upon
nny terms under such circumstances,
would appear to be a presumption on a degree
of gullibility calculated to outrage all
common sense ; but there is a wheel within
a wheel upon this matter into which a
little daylight must be thrown. He it
known then, that the greater portion of
the bondsof the bankrupt American States
are in the hands of English capitalists.
It is further perfectly understood that the
only chance of their getting out of the
difficulty is to endeavor to prop up the
credit of the American Government,
which will give a toneand stimulus io the
State bonds, under the influence of which
stimulus they will be enabled to cut and
run by saddling them on smaller and credulous
capitalists anxious to find out
means to increase their incomes. By
this class of holders of American bonds
the Government of that country linvc been
encouraged to make the present experiment,
and with the promise of the indirect
and casual support of the said capitalists,
if it is not convenient or suitable for them
to appear in the matter openly. Feelers
will he immediately thrown out to see
how the pulso of the Public beats ; and,
ifa favorable impression can be made,
tho cnnnexion will be avowed, and contracts
entered into. The great difficulty
of finding secure channels of investment
in this country at present, except at a very
low rate of remuneration, for capital, is
believed to atford a chance of, to a cer
tain extent, overcoming the objection*
that may be made on the scoro of American
integrity and want of stability in the
Government, waiving the other point,
and giving her statesmen credit for hon.
esty of intention. If the ice can once be
broken under any thing like favorable circumstances,
we shall have abundance of
specious plausibilities put forth on the vast
axtent of American resources, backed by
asseveration that the tribulations they
have lately gone through have fully convinccd
them that honesty is the best policy,
and that they will in future faithfully
discnaig;* all their pecuniary obligations.
It will, however, be the duty of fhe pub
lie press to lay the case naked and bare,
as the facts justify, without exaggeration
or embellishment; and, if dupes can be
found to plunge into new difficulties with
their eyes open, they have only themselves
to blame."
